Why donate?

Your donation is important to our community. About 400 whole blood donations are needed each week in our local area to maintain an adequate supply for hospitals and doctor offices. Approximately 200 patients in St. Joseph County alone use blood and blood products each week. These donations help patients heal and recover, and they save lives. Even more donations are needed in the summer months and around the holidays. During these times, the number of donations drop and the amount of blood being used increases.
